Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

On the 24th, Nets players arrived in Orlando on a special plane

They will face the Magic away from home, and the third game of the series will come as scheduled.

The Magic's home court was packed for this game.

Fans dressed in uniform turned the entire arena into a deep blue ocean.

In the first two games, the Nets defeated the Magic in two consecutive games, causing the Magic to lose face.

In this campaign, the Magic are fighting with their backs against the wall. They urgently need a victory to restore their dignity.

However, the direction of the game once again favored the Nets.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Nets players quickly entered the state, passing the ball sharply and accurately, and every attack seemed orderly.

As the leader of the team, Durant has firm and confident eyes, making Magic defensive players feel intimidated every time he holds the ball.

He first took advantage of a fast break opportunity to break through to the basket and score easily, and then hit a three-pointer from the outside, establishing an early lead for the Nets.

The Magic players seemed a little nervous and impatient.

Under the tight defense of the Nets, he made frequent mistakes and his shooting percentage was pitifully low.

As the team's inside core, Vucevic was repeatedly blocked at the basket and unable to show his strength.

The shooters on the outside feel cold and cannot provide enough firepower support for the team.

Halfway through the game, the Nets had established a double-digit lead.

The players cooperated tacitly on the court and seemed to be able to attack and defend with ease.

Mitchell received a pass from Durant during a fast break and easily dunked, while also causing a defensive foul on Terrence Ross.

Standing at the free throw line, Mitchell had a confident and relaxed smile on his face.

At the same time, the Magic players began to look frustrated and helpless.

They tried their best on the court, but still couldn't shake the Nets' lead.

Every offensive failure hurt their confidence.

There was unwillingness and anger in his eyes, as if he wanted to turn this emotion into motivation on the court.

However, the reality is cruel, and the Magic have been unable to find a way to break through the Nets' defense.

Head coach Clifford paced anxiously on the sidelines, constantly adjusting the layout on the tactical board, trying to find a way to break the Nets' defense.

Unfortunately, no matter how he changes formations, the Magic's offense can't always run smoothly.

Looking at the disappointed players on the field, Clifford kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling helpless and anxious in his heart.

It seemed that the loss of this game had put him under tremendous pressure.

In contrast, Nets head coach Lu Yong seems much more relaxed.

Sitting on the sidelines and chatting with the assistant coaches from time to time, victory in this game was already within reach.

Lu Yong's eyes revealed confidence and calmness, and this emotion was also passed on to the players on the court.

Everyone became more and more courageous as they fought on the court, constantly widening the score gap.

The mood of the fans at the scene also fluctuated as the game progressed.

At the beginning, they cheered for every attack and defense of the Magic team, looking forward to the home team playing a wonderful game.

But as the score gap gradually widened, Magic fans began to become frustrated and desperate.

Watching the Magic players return without success time and time again, my heart was filled with helplessness and loss.

Some fans even began to leave early, not wanting to witness the home team's disastrous defeat.

At the end of the first half, the Nets already led the Magic by 68 points, 45:23.

This score difference let Magic players know that this game has become extremely difficult.

Throughout the first half, Durant and Porzingis were undoubtedly the Nets' best players.

The two brothers not only scored frequently on the offensive end, but also caused huge trouble for the Magic on the defensive end.

The striker composed of two talented monsters made the Magic players feel timid and helpless, and they could not find a way to break through the Nets' defense.

Magic head coach Clifford shook his head helplessly.

He knows that there is a huge gap between his team and the Nets in terms of strength, but he still hopes that the players can play their own level and style.

However, the reality is cruel. After two quarters, the Magic still could not find a way to compete with the Nets.

Looking at the disappointed players on the bench, Clifford was filled with guilt and self-blame.

He knows that the failure of the game is not entirely the responsibility of the players. He also has many shortcomings in tactical arrangements and personnel scheduling.

Back in the third quarter.

The Nets attack first.

Brunson dribbled through half court, and Fultz stepped forward to defend closely.

Brunson was very calm and waved to the inside.

Porzingis comes up to cover.

With the help of the pick and roll, Brunson successfully got rid of Fultz's pursuit.

Gordon, who came out with Porzingis, immediately completed the defense change.

But this change of defense seemed meaningless to Brunson. With a smooth and silky back luck, Brunson easily passed the defense.

One step ahead of the three-second zone, Brunson made a calm throw while moving.

The basketball rotates at high speed in the air, drawing a beautiful arc.

"Shh!"

Hollow into the network!

At 70:45, the Nets scored first in the second half.

After the goal, Brunson had no expression on his face.

The other four Nets players were also relaxed.

Obviously, they didn't think about losing today.

Magic offense, Fultz passed the ball to Terrence Ross.

Facing Mitchell's defense, Terrence Ross was very cautious.

He reached out for a pick-and-roll, preparing to break through from the left.

Unexpectedly, just when Terrence Ross was dribbling and preparing to break through, Mitchell suddenly took out the ball.

This time he was so sure and ruthless that he actually broke the ball!
Terrence Ross was shocked and quickly turned around to make up for his mistake.

But after stealing the ball, Mitchell sprinted towards the Magic half court with all his strength.

Fultz also immediately retreated and rushed towards Mitchell at full speed.

Running without the ball is always faster than running with the ball.

Mitchell played very resolutely in the fast break. He took three steps against the defense and scored a layup. At the same time, he also caused Fultz to foul.

"Shh!"

"Dudu!"

The line referee's whistle sounded, and Mitchell succeeded in a fast break of 2+1!

Under the boos of the Magic fans at the scene, Mitchell steadily added free throws.

73: 45.

The Nets started the second half just like the first half, with the Magic unable to fight back.

The difference is that the Nets are more relaxed when leading by a big score, and they attack more casually.

Even so, the Magic are still at a disadvantage in all aspects.

In the next round, Brunson played a pick-and-roll in the middle and passed the ball to Cousins.

Cousins ​​started to work hard after getting the ball.

There was no extra movement, and he directly chose to use the simplest and crudest way to force Vucevic to the basket.

Vucevic obviously did not expect that Cousins ​​would play in this way. "boom!"

With the sound of muscle collision, Cousins ​​used his strength to push away Vucevic, and dunked the basketball with both hands in the three-second zone!

At 75:45, the Nets extended their lead to 30 points.

On the sidelines, Magic head coach Clifford could no longer look away.

He never expected that in the first game after returning to the home court, he would still be unable to escape the fate of being beaten by the Nets.

Where's the promised home whistle for the playoffs?

I didn’t feel any magic at all.
The gap in strength between the two sides cannot be made up by two occasional missed whistles.

The Nets hit a combination of punches, and the Magic fans at the scene immediately became honest.

The surrounding audience was silent, with depression written all over their faces.

Just when Clifford was doubting his life, Porzingis showed strength again on the defensive end.

When Gordon used explosive power to complete the pass, he relied on his amazing wingspan and lateral speed to jump behind him to block the shot, and rewarded Gordon with a solid nail-board block.

Porzingis, who blocked the shot, reacted quickly and took control of the ball immediately.

The Nets got a chance to counterattack.

The Magic quickly retreated. Porzingis looked up at the frontcourt and made a long pass to find Adu on the fast break.

After receiving the ball, Durant made a sudden stop in front of Terrence Ross, raised his hand from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Durant made a solid three-pointer!
78: 45.

Magic players are about to collapse!

Upon seeing this, Clifford finally couldn't hold himself back any longer and called a timeout with a frustrated look on his face.

During the timeout, the Nets made substitution adjustments.

Cousins ​​took a rest and Mitchell Robinson came on as his replacement.

The team has a large lead, so early substitutions are a way to protect the main players.

Pause back.

The Magic attacked, and Fultz broke through the pick-and-roll in the middle, disrupting the defense and attacking Gordon on the weak side.

Gordon didn't dare to fight against Porzingis' defense. The moment he caught the ball, he felt a spider monster covering his offensive line of sight.

Before Gordon could think of what to do next, a pair of big hands accurately cut on the ball and quickly completed the steal.

After stealing the ball, Porzingis bent down to control the ball and immediately passed it to Brunson beside him.

Brunson quickly advanced after getting the ball and went straight to the Magic half.

At the same time, Mitchell and Durant also followed up from both sides.

The Nets launched a signature fast-break counterattack with full participation.

The Magic retreated quickly, but Brunson changed direction and passed one first, and then used a behind-the-back pass to find Durant on the right.

After receiving the ball, Adu took three steps and made a powerful one-handed dunk, slamming the ball into the basket!

"boom!"

80: 45.

At this time, the faces of Magic fans showed an expression of complete despair.

The Magic attacked, and Fultz started the attack with a pick-and-roll.

With the help of Vucevic's cover, he successfully broke through to the free throw line and made a mid-range jump shot.

"Shh!"

The basketball hit the net.

At 80:47, the Magic finally started the second half.

The Nets attacked, and Robinson asked for the ball in the low post this time.

Brunson hit the ball and passed it, and he ran to the right corner to open up space.

Vucevic was fully focused and ready to defend.

But Robinson did not make a strong play. He leaned back twice, turned around to attract double-teams, and passed the ball to Brunson who was receiving at the top of the key.

Brunson caught the ball and took a quick shot, making an easy three-point jumper.

"Shh!"

At 83:47, the Nets continued to expand their lead.

Vucevic sent a sideline ball from the backcourt and caught a glimpse of Terrence Ross on the fast break from the corner of his eye.

He quickly took the basketball from the referee, waved his hand, and passed the ball across half the court to find his running teammates.

Terrence Ross jumped high and caught the pass.

At this time, there was a wide open space in front of him.

He took off in three steps with great energy, trying to end the attack with a dunk.

But at the moment Terrence Ross was about to complete the dunk, Robinson appeared directly behind him.

"Snapped!"

A big hand appeared out of thin air above his head and slapped the basketball in Terrence Ross's hand onto the backboard!

Nailboard hat!

"Oh!"

The fans at the scene let out a cry of exclamation.

Several Magic fans who were ready to stand up to celebrate stopped in place with their hands raised high, confusion written on their faces.

After nailing the big block, Robinson handed the ball to Brunson, and the Nets' momentum was completely unleashed!
In the subsequent games, the Nets firmly controlled the situation.

After the third quarter, the team already leads the Magic by as many as 42 points!
In the final quarter, Magic head coach Clifford raised the white flag and surrendered.

When Lu Yong saw this, he didn't mean to kill them all. He waved off all the main players and replaced them with the third lineup.

In garbage time, the Magic players tried to narrow the point difference, but were quickly suppressed by the Nets, and the point difference widened step by step.

After all, the Nets' third lineup is also very strong.

Vincent, Dort, Ding Yanyuhang, Martin, Claxton!

It was also a rubbish lineup training, but the Nets' comprehensive strength far exceeded their opponents, and they were unable to fight back against the Magic.

Nets substitute small forward Ding Yanyuhang broke out and began his personal performance in this quarter.

First, he received a pass from his teammate from the outside. After a feint, he easily shook off the defensive player and then hit a jump shot directly. Then, he used his flexible steps to shake off his opponent under the basket and score a layup.

Ding Yanyuhang's performance aroused cheers from the Chinese audience, who began to applaud and cheer for him.

The Magic players seemed to be annoyed by Ding Yanyuhang's performance and began to strengthen their defense against him.

However, Ding Yanyuhang was like a whirlwind, shuttling back and forth on the court, easily finding scoring opportunities whether on the outside or inside.

Once, he even completed a gorgeous dunk in the air, which amazed the few Nets fans present.

As time goes by, Ding Yanyuhang's scores are getting higher and higher, and the Magic's defense is getting weaker and weaker, and the score gap is getting wider and wider.

When the game ended, the score was fixed at 138:89.

The Nets defeated the Magic by 49 points on the road, and also rewritten the total score of the series to 3:0.

As long as they win one more game, they can stage a first-round sweep.

Lu Yong stepped forward and shook hands with Clifford. Clifford blushed a little and didn't say a word.

篮网全队7人得分上双，外线杜兰特表现最好，砍下32分7篮板3助攻；内线最抢眼的是波尔津吉斯，拿下21分11篮板2助攻2抢断3盖帽。

Chinese player Ding Yanyuhang showed off his strength in the final quarter, scoring 11 points and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, which delighted domestic fans.

Only three Magic players scored in double figures. The best performer was Vucevic, who scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

No one in the team scored 20+ points, and they were completely suppressed by the Nets. (End of chapter)
